Discovery Stage Series- Happenstance Theater: Pinot and Augustine
A sure-fire 45-minute, bilingual, crowd-pleaser, PINOT & AUGUSTINE is a classic, family-friendly clown duo inspired by the golden age of Circus. Pinot is the authoritarian clown in fancy clothes and white cone hat. Augustine is the appealing red-nosed bumbler who punctures his pomposity. Their show bubbles over with physical comedy, virtuosity and musical surprises from the sublime to the ridiculous: from lyrical melodies on a musical saw to pratfalls and a whoopee cushion. The Discovery Stage Series is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org). Saturday, April 16th at 11 a.m.
Eric Energy
Experience the science of the spring season! Eric Energy will conduct experiments with vortex fog rings, streams of air and more. Volunteers will be selected throughout the show. Saturday, April 16th at 3:30 p.m.
